Shared Earth is a member of the World Fair Trade Organization. They design the pieces and deliver the materials to the homes of the women who work for them, who are in the poorest slums around the city. This is done so they do not have to worry about childcare or transport costs. Once the orders are completed, the items are picked up from the women and sent off to be packed for shipment to the UK.
The purchase of this product helps not only supply lots of stable work but allows our supplier to fund their many social projects in their local area. This ranges from planting trees, organizing recycling and investment in wastewater management to much bigger projects such as free healthcare to over 10,000 people, funding educational and vocational centers to help people lift themselves out of poverty to sponsoring children to complete their education.
